Comment Is the rookie league a fully professional league? If so, he passes the notability guideline for athletes. faithless (^speak) 21:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. It's the lowest professional level of the minor league system, but it is "fully professional" per the guideline. If minor league players are considered notable, then he qualifies. --UsaSatsui 21:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep per my comment above.--UsaSatsui 21:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC) Withdrawing comment for now while I suss this one over.--UsaSatsui 23:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Playing in a fully professional league does not mean that he is notable. It is only a guideline. Is there anything else notable about him? Fbdave 22:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball#Players, most minor league players are not considered notable. Fbdave 22:25, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Then the two pages are in conflict. Hmmm. I'll have to sort out which one I agree with more.--UsaSatsui 23:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the rookie leagues aren't even considered to be fully proffesional, it fails the proposed WP:SPORTS guidelines. Blahblahme 17:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Um...you're either a professional, or you're not. They get paid to play, they're professional baseball players. --UsaSatsui 19:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yeah...I'm going to have to conclude that when you're this deep in the system, you need something else to make you stand out (such as a high draft number or whatnot)--UsaSatsui 19:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The rookie leagues are professional. While I applaud the Baseball project, it does not set standards for articles. That is done on a global basis by all editors. Of all the players who play at the highest amateur level (which is notable I think), only a small group make it to the minor leagues. I would keep.

Acually 50 rounds of players with over a thousand players drafted per year, easily anyone who started in college, or was very good in high school aren't a "small group". The rookie leagues are more semi-proffesional than anything, it tells if a player is good enough to go a higher league, or if they are just a fluke. It's too soon for creating articles on them.
